New York City in the late 1980's and early 1990's was a war zone. The crack era ushered in a record number of murders, topping 2,000 some years, as gangs battled for control of million-dollar corners. One crew stood out among all the crews of killers: The Wild Cowboys, a group of former high school friends who used their connections to the Dominican Republic to expand their territory in the South Bronx.
Led by the notorious Sepulveda brothers and following in the footsteps of the Washington Heights-based dealer who allegedly introduced crack to the Big Apple , they left no witnesses or competitors breathing...until a wanton act of violence on the West Side Highway tipped off investigators and led to their downfall.
Underworld is a podcast about organized crime around the world, by reporters Danny Gold and Sean Williams. From Balkan warlords to Brooklyn wiseguys, we’ll expose the barely-visible networks that affect everyone’s lives. Bringing our experience hunting some of the world’s most dangerous people, we’ll show how gangs fought to the top of their food chains - and how some got cut down to size.

    1990 in the Bronx I was a member of the yellow top crew (The Wise Guyz). I went by the name of L Nitty, the Enforcer & Manager. I controlled everything. When the red top Dominicans (the wild cowboys) killed my homie Amp Gone but never forgotten, That was fucked up, That was not gangster to kill innocent people & tell us we can't work there. It was our block & we wanted in, so we started getting money, plus we had a lot of guns to protect ourselves after that episode. You will think I learned my lesson from that but when my bestfriend Gerard heard snitched on me because he saw me doing better than him & got me locked up. So after i finished my 5 years probation, I moved to Florida and got a job, but when they did a background check in all states, they found out I had a felony in New York & fired me. I went back to the streets & did what I knew best. I got into the weed game & got shot in the face & neck because they wanted to rob me. I was in the hospital for a month. I'm 52 years old now, so the past was the past it is what it is because I sleep well at night, thank God I'm out the streets, I'm not a Rat. (YTELL) & I'm not in jail. So after that, I quit the game & and stopped hanging out with people from the block or in that life & started taking care of my mom who is 73 years old from 2010 to the present. I only hang with people who live productive lives. No more street shit with me. It takes for me to get snitched on & shot to learn my lesson... True story!

We have very similar back stories, so much so I had to double take and make sure that I wasn't reading it wrong. I hope your doing well and your parents are glad that you are able to be there for them. Yo if possible hit me back I'd like to give you some info so you can reach someone to maybe do a story or video about your story growing up. Hope to hear from you brother. Stay blessed bro.👑🙏🏽💪🏽💯

Now that important individuals or higher income people are moving into the area cause of cheaper rent.....now that those higher importance to society people are moving in,now they’re noticing the violence and now they want change, but people been “jumping” over the George Washington bridge for years and it’s never comes out in the news cause it’s unsolved

    I think you might have your facts wrong about the riot uptown on 162nd. I don't recall anyone getting thrown of a firescate. What I remember is a dealer name Kiko getting shot in the back of his head in the lobby of his building. He was getting robbed by the local motion cops. Undercover cops who rode around in those big delta 88 and they all had that local motion sticker on the car. Kiko didn't want to give up any money or work so the cop shot him. Then there was a riot for 3 days where a rookie cop got hit in the head with a cinder block thrown of the roof and killed. I think that was 91 or 92.
